GUEST AUTHOR LEANNE DYCK

Thank you for this opportunity to visit your blog to promote my short story contest.

I developed this contest as a way to celebrate the release of my thriller The Sweater Curse.

What’s this book about?

Good question. Here’s the blurb…

Aspiring knitwear designer Gwen Bjarnson is stuck in Purgatory. To escape, she must re-examine her life, journey through her past and right a wrong. But which wrong.

Young and in love, she works to establish her career, except fate has different plans. One rash act and she loses everything. Never resting, always seeking, and yearning for what she can no longer have, Gwen faces the truth: if she remains, others are destined to die. How will she solve the mystery before it is too late?

I’m thriller by the positive reception this book has received. Reviewers have given it a 4.5 star rating on Amazon.

‘Leanne Dyck has crafted a tale as exotic and existential as Danish Isak Dinesen’s…This book defies genre definitions as it finds its unique place on the fiction shelves. Here’s hoping Leanne Dyck returns many times to the intriguing roots of her family’s past.’

-mystery author Lou Allin

‘Go out and pick this one up, you’ll find yourself immersed as well.’ –Deborah Warner, reviewer for By the Book

I wish I had a favorite sweater! I mean other than the totally acyrlic-it-would-probably-lat-1000-years-in-a-landfill one that is stretched out of shape and is so full of dog hair it's probably going to come alive one day and trot off for new adventures... Ok, that might be an interesting story to write! ;-)
